Since the memorial will be later, we need to keep Jane's name front and center.At no time allow BB to have center stage.An idea is to have candlelight walks with sign within the neighborhood BB will not be comfortable with that.We need to be up front and personal. Tie purple ribbons on kids bikes,roof racks of SUV's.Let the world know how valued she was and still is.Time to show her voice.

The memorial vigil for Jane that was initially scheduled for her birthday (June 22) has been postponed, but is still being planned for a future date. In the meantime the J4J signs, bracelets, and magnets are being sold as a quiet show of support for Jane. J4J has no plans to get involved in any other active vigils (such as a candle walk, etc) at this time.

J4J is postponing the memorial vigil for Jane until later in the summer due to a scheduling conflict. While disappointed not to have it on her actual birthday, postponing it will give us more time to plan the best possible event. If you offered to help with the June vigil, please know that your help will still be needed for the later event.

Of course, we are continuing with the Justice for Jane campaign of yard signs, wristbands, and tree ribbons. The good news is that ribbon magnets for cars are being re-offered as funds are now available to do so. They are $5 each & can be ordered through Justice4Jane@yahoo.com

The first wave of items will available for pickup within about a week. Date, time and place for pickup will be sent by emails from Justice4jane@yahoo.com to those who ordered items.

Also, please note that wristbands are deliverable, no extra charge for mailing, perfect for supporters who live out of the area.Statement of Purpose for this event so that participants can understand its intent:

In summer 2012 a memorial vigil for Jane Bashara will be held as a community-wide commemoration of her and as a means to convey how very much she is missed in her hometown. The vigil is also intended to show in a dignified manner the level of community desire to bring whomever murdered her to justice. We have full faith in the actions of law enforcement in this matter, and respect its need for a careful and deliberate process. As an event having the blessings of her birth family, everyone involved believes that Jane would be quite proud that a very large circle of people --- many whom she did not know --- would come together to show their support in this positive way. Please join us in commemorating this lovely and deserving woman.

As you talk about this event with others, please explain these reasons for holding it. Thanks.

As of Sunday June 3, J4J has $600 in orders, which includes $275 in donations for signs/ribbons. This is very good considering there's been no advertising or media coverage. Thanks to all J4Jers who contributed and passed the word!

The purpose of this Justice for Jane campaign is to show the Grosse Pointe community's interest in bringing whoever murdered her to justice. It is to affirm a trust in law enforcements' efforts in this regard and to stand behind them. The campaign items (signs, wristbands, and ribbons) also serve a dual purpose in providing the funding for her vigil. We believe Jane would be proud and deeply gratified that her wider community joined together to avenge the terrible wrong of her senseless death.

After 3 weeks of planning, today is the kick-off of the Justice for Jane campaign!

Below is the press release that was sent today to the major media outlets in Detroit and the Grosse Pointes.

PRESS RELEASE

Saturday June 9, 2012Re: Justice for Jane (Bashara)campaign

Saturday, June 9 is the kick-off of the Justice for Jane campaign in the Grosse Pointe community. This campaign is the display of items with the words “Justice for Jane” including yard signs, ribbon magnets for cars, wristbands, and purple tree ribbons. This first distribution of items is very limited, with future distributions planned as new requests are received.

The goal is to have as many of them on view as possible before June 22, which would have been her 57th birthday. We believe Jane would be proud and deeply gratified that her community joined together to avenge the terrible wrong of her senseless death.

The purpose of the campaign is to show in a visible way the Grosse Pointe community's desire to bring to justice whoever murdered one of its most respected members. It affirms a trust in law enforcements' efforts on her case and stands behind them.

Sale of campaign items serves a dual purpose in providing funds for a commemorative vigil for Jane which will be held later this summer, date to be determined. All proceeds in excess of expenses will be donated to one of Jane’s favorite charities.

This first wave of signs and tree ribbons is very limited as they were sold with no media exposure or advertising --- simply from those who view Justice4Jane.forumotion.com. We fully expect many more requests when people see them and hear about the campaign. They will be distributed every week for as long as being ordered. The wristbands and car magnets are due in by June 15. To date, the count ordered is: yards signs, 46; wristbands, 52; ribbon car magnets, 23; tree ribbons, 14.

Costs of these items are: yard signs $15; wristbands, tree ribbons, and ribbon magnets, $5 each. To buy or make donations, email Justice4Jane@yahoo.com, re: orders/donations. Purchasers will be notified of the pickup date and location in Grosse Pointe.

The organizers wish to remain in the background (not take the spotlight) and let the campaign speak for itself. We truthfully would like little media coverage, but realize that is not feasible with such a high profile case. For any questions, please email justice4jane@yahoo.com with the reporter’s name and contact information. A volunteer will email the reporter with the requested information. Thank you for your consideration.

Since this forum was started less than a month ago (May 13), we are pleased with this progress. Onward and upward!

Everyone you know Jane is looking down and smiling seeing all the love her friends are showing for her.And keeping her voice alive so that justice is served and her killers are punished.We must all be are sisters keepers and help when they can not.

Zues....I am so honored to be a part of this campaign. It obviously speaks volumes to Jane's character and the love people have for her. We have been joined as strangers because of Jane. Now we have made long term friends because of Jane. There is a purpose for all of this!

I know it has made me feel things that I thought I had buried deep never to be remembered again,I want to do what ever I can to get Justice for Jane,I did not know her but that does not matter she was gods child so she was and is my sister.

For the vigil, we're planning a screen display 'Favorite Memories of Jane' --- a compilation of touching stories, photos, expressions and cute stuff about Jane.

With many of her friends, acquaintances and family as forum members who may like to contribute a favorite sentiment, we're suggesting you send it with your name (attn: favorite memories) to the J4J yahoo account. It can be as little as one expression or photo, or as long as you'd like. We'll show the entries to the Engelbrecht family for approval, and possibly read some during the program itself.

When I thought of putting ribbons on trees I never thought BB would react so fast and to such a decree the cracks are showing and are certainly wide.Jane's voice is roaring now ear plugs will not block it out she is strong and justice will be served.I'm proud to be part of this wonderful group.

Yes, it will be awesome to see the affect it has on Bob when every tree has a ribbon, every yard has a sign,every car has a sticker and every wrist has a band (at least it will seem that way to Bob)..It will be like Edgar Allan Poes "The Telltale Heart" everywhere he looks there will be a sign that he can't ignore..

When he starts seeing signs in St. Clair Shores where his apartments are he will start really hear her voice...

As of Tuesday, there are 61 signs dotting the lawns in various communities including the Pointes, HW, SCS, and Detroit. Only 10 days into the campaign, we're pleased. Ribbon magnets for cars, only available yesterday, will start appearing around town as well.

This is awesome. Really attests to the friendship of her friends wanting to remember Jane and hoping for justice for her.

Today, Friday June 22 is a special day --- Jane's birthday. It is a difficult day for those who knew and loved her. As a way of honoring her and expressing indignation about her murder, please tie a purple ribbon around a tree and place a spray of garden flowers at its base. We friends continue to keep Jane in our memory and support convictions for her murderers.
